As a candidate for the Republican Party's presidential nomination in 2016, hardly working Florida Senator Marco Rubio insisted it was essential for America's President to be "influenced by their faith" and to represent the Christian values "that teach us to care for the less fortunate, to reach out to the needy, to love our neighbor."
As Secretary of State in 2025, Rubio has overseen cuts to USAID that have already killed at least 600,000 people, two thirds of them children.
The preventable death toll caused by Rubio's shuttering of USAID is expected to reach 14 million by 2030.
Maybe that's just a statistic to Rubio.
But history (if Elon's AI allows it) will show that Rubio is responsible for an era of anti-Christian cruelty that will, within just a few years, make America complicit in the deaths of 14 million human beings, including 4.5 million children under age 5.
Rubio, who loomed large in 2013 as the Republican Party's TIME-anointed "Savior," is now a much-diminished figure.
As a servant to Trump's cruel foreign-policy agenda, Rubio has become the poster boy for the torture and persecution that ensue after immigrants have been shipped — at taxpayer expense, often without their American children being notified — to countries Trump once derided as "shitholes."
In the New Yorker, Sarah Stillman describes a video call she received from "from eleven strangers locked inside a secretive detention camp in a forest in Ghana."
"We fear we’ll be tortured and killed," one told her.
Another, until recently a car salesman and a real-estate agent in Miami, told her: "I have five U.S.-citizen children, and they don’t know where their father is."
Last month, trying to get my head around the Trump administration's illegal "third-country" deportation program, I made a short video using Google NotebookLM.
This video overview discusses a secretive agreement that provided the African nation of Eswatini with $5.1 million in aid in exchange for accepting up to 160 deportees whom the U.S. claims are "criminal illegal aliens" refused by their home countries.
One man — 62-year-old Orville Etoria from Jamaica — was sent to Eswatini even though his home country of Jamaica was willing to take him.
Rubio sends hundreds of people—and millions of taxpayer dollars—to regimes he says are corrupt beyond repair
On 10 November 2025, reports the New York Times, Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire, the top Democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, sent a letter questioning Rubio's largest payment yet — $7.5 million to Equatorial Guinea to take deportees from the United States who are not its citizens.
Shaheen called the payment "highly unusual," seeing as it was made to "one of the most corrupt governments in the world." Her letter says Rubio's deportation deals raise "serious concerns over the responsible, transparent use of American taxpayer dollars."
In addition to cutting deals and sending millions of dollars to countries which his own State Department says are among the most corrupt in the world, Rubio has also put himself at the center of individual deportation cases.
He made of mockery of the First Amendment when he suggested that legal U.S. residents like Mahmoud Khalil should be deported for "otherwise lawful" speech or even things they hadn't actually said yet.
Khalil's deportation was put on hold when a New Jersey judge found his detainment by ICE was likely unconstitutional. In July, Khalil filed a $20 million lawsuit alleging he was falsely imprisoned, maliciously prosecuted and smeared as an antisemite. In November, he also sued Trump officials for their alleged collusion with anti-Palestinian groups, alleging his arrest was based on a "smear and harassment campaign" and "misinformation" supplied to the government by "shady groups."
Rubio ridiculously invoked "state secrets" in the case of Kilmar Albrego Garcia, a case which inadvertently focused attention on Trump's rapidly deteriorating mental state when the demented President claimed in a TV interview that the "gang tattoos" his lackeys had photoshopped onto Abrego's knuckles were definitely real.
Abrego was eventually returned to the US after being mistakenly deported to El Salvador, but was immediately slapped with new charges by Pam Bondi.
The Trump administration promised Abrego would be prosecuted and serve time in US prison for his alleged crimes before being deported again.
But today, after a string of legal humiliations, the administration is trying to rush-deport him to Liberia, while pretending not to notice that Costa Rica has confirmed it remains willing to accept him.
Rubio revealed: A power-hungry hypocrite whose cruelty now trumps his Christianity
Rubio's political career has been built on two foundations: His devotion to Jesus Christ. And his hatred of Castro's dictatorial regime.
In his quest for power here on Earth, Rubio has repeatedly tried on different religions for size, before selling his soul to Trump, a would-be authoritarian he once called a con artist with tiny hands.
After embracing Trump's "dictator fetish," Rubio, who previously called Putin a "thug." is now carrying Putin's water. He's cozying up to Saudi murderers. And even defending U.S. war crimes. All while abandoning the needy and less fortunate he once told us he was driven to serve.
For all his supposed opposition to the Castro regime's history of suppressing dissent, Rubio has morphed into a Mini-Castro himself, becoming the face of the Trump administration's efforts to target people because of their speech or their criticism of Trump policies.
As recently as October 2025, as his policies were killing thousands of the world's poorest people and tearing longstanding US-based families apart, the hypocrite Rubio had the audacity to tell evangelical pastor Greg Laurie: "The family... is the first school, it’s the first church. It is foundational to everything."
Compounding his shame, Rubio shrugged off his culpability in causing Biblical levels of death and destruction at home and abroad, saying it was "not realistic" to aspire to "a world free of problems and free of challenges and free of worry."
Why? Because the Bible tells us we have to expect "great tribulation."
Since his famous TIME cover in 2013, we've watched Marco Rubio shrink before our eyes
The one-time Republican Savior is now a shriveled husk.
The man who once claimed to be a protector of families and defender of human rights is advancing policies where families are torn apart and rights are trampled.
With "Little Marco" installed as U.S. Secretary of State, we're living in a time when cruelty trumps Christianity and fear trumps faith.
Hundreds of thousands have already died.
Millions more will die in the years ahead.
There is no way up from here.
Rubio has revealed himself to be morally bankrupt and a spiritual fraud, a man with no political future, inexorably tied to the sins he's committed in the name of Trump.
